Seeing as my local McDonald's has "great competitive wages" they thought they would adjust the benefits accordingly.
They were apparently worried their employees were getting it too good..
Covered up with white tape is
"Tuition Assistance"
"Paid Time Off"
But hey, at least you get the "benefits" of discounted shitty meals. And to know that other McDonald's have it just a little better than you..
Comboverman
Nobody better bite on that child slavery shit.... what the f is wrong with McDonald's

1982. 3.25 an hour and a free meal at 3 hours, 2 for a full shift. Wasn't bad then.
videopro10
2008. $5.75 an hour and one half-priced meal per full shift. It was kinda bad then tbh. But I moved on because I knew I could do better.

They invented a tool for this in France 1792. Its made just for this kind of problems what USA is facing now

In america we'd have a gun at the top instead of a blade. "Gunitine"

But actually that was used very little, it is, after all, matter of the people and what they can do together when unified.

It was actually a well-intended law. But, as expected, it was exploited and used to profit business & not support the kids it was meant for.
Rolsun
I love how we had to beg for $15/hr, and now that the power has shifted all of a sudden $15/hr is starting. Too late suckas! $25!

The other day, I saw an obvious McDonald's shill post on here. I guess this explains why.
befuddledscientist
My uncle cpmplain why people are so angry about this. HE worked at 11 years old at his family shop! It gave him money and built character 1/
befuddledscientist
I just simply responded "Yes, because child labor laws are the 1 thing ruining this country." 2/

I see that they tried to cover up the "Tuition Assistance" and "Paid Time Off" on their recruitment sign.

Up next on the chopping block "Competitive Wages", followed by "Free or", then "Discounted".

Can’t believe they are still working out the “labor shortage” its called paying people a LIVABLE WAGE. Forego your third yacht…
SomeSorcerer
Na na na, we gotta pass that on to the consumer! I’ve got yacht payments to make! /s

Younger workers are limited hours and duties to perform in comparison to older workers.
Couchwarrior1337
15/hr? I'm just getting that after going through college for 5 years. I get paid time off though, so I guess that's nice...

Did you block out the text, @OP? Because you forgot to do it on the bottom picture
dmander64
I was also wondering why this was blacked out at all

Now, let’s hunt down where this store is…

I blocked out a specific store code, not just "apply".

Black slave labour, millions of illegal Hispanics exploited by slave wages, now poor peoples kids child labour, Land of the free labour.

It's also legal to hire intellectually and/or developmentally challenged people and pay them LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE.
randomwalrus
So that explains why GOP politicians take so many bribes, they get paid less...
ShaunDreclin
Fucking disgusting.. As if it costs them less to live
ChaosInherent
Typically costs more with medical expenses and care

I mean.... I'm not at all surprised and I would almost rather this transparency than only post 12-15 but give them 12 anyway.
reload2456
Still a piece of shit but at least the kids know what they are walking into rather than going through the process just to get the min anyway
Inarticulated
How much would it be after taxes? I'm curious because $15/hour seemed like a big step forward, until I realized that that's before taxes :S
reallynotmikepence
Well the previous step was 7.25 so it's still a big step forward.
Inarticulated
God damn.. The more I learn/realize about America, the more like a shithole it seems.. The cost of "freedom" sure seems steep..

Oh no, machines will take over! Nope, child labor is back on the menu.
wekilledbambi03
Yeah didn’t everyone get worried like 5 years ago when McDs introduced the kiosks in stores? Guess they still need people.

Child labor may be coming back too. Which is nice...

Different states have different age requirements for working. Some are as low as 14.
StanielRonathan
True, different age ranges have different rules, ex how late they can work until on weekdays...and we see states now upping it to 11pm
SiRoj90
Personally I was down to work at 15 but I had to wait a year per texas rules.
undeadlemur
I started at a DQ when I was 14 lol
PubstarHero
Fed is 14 years old. They are "Minor Minors" and come with VERY heavy restrictions. At 16 years old you are just a "minor"

I'm not American but I got my first job at age 12 with parental consent. It's still and has always been legal here although there are rules
Sutashi
I'm in the US. Also started working at 12. But the rules are pretty strict. There are only certain times & total hrs you can work.
thevortexmaster
I'm in BC Canada. There wasn't a whole lot of rules until a month ago. Now the hours and jobs are limited
soulman901
I worked at McDonalds starting when I was 14. This was when I lived in Iowa in 96. It could only be part time till I was 16.
mike13815
In 96 there wasn't a general strike in which otherwise disconnected industries influenced politicians to subvert with lax child labor law.
TheDragonOwO
Don’t know about other places, in my city if a underage want to work, they must have consent from BOTH the parent/guardian and the school.
TheDragonOwO
And there are some restriction depend on your age, like you are only allow to work 4 hours maximum on school day and 20 hrs per week.
ckent65
My kid is 4 and already earns and allowance. He’ll probably get a job in his early teens

Not as bad here in lithuania i earned in a summer job twice as less as a normal worker and i legit worked the same job.

That’s one shitty franchise owner

Who the fuck puts up a child labor poster with a straight face?

The one in my town is bragging about $13.50/hour for full-time for 18+...
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
Some are super awesome, others... Not so much. Source: I worked for a great franchise owner who was actual present and actually worked w/us
RVAALLDAY
I mean they all kindof are, my brother has no idea y he can’t find reliable managers, but anyone outside of it is like you’re paying $14/hr
DescartavelPerdedor
It's like they are trying to see how far to the line of actual class warfare they can push. We have the power but we need to band together..
RVAALLDAY
And it’s like… you don’t see the correlation? His last store manager is getting 5 years for embezzling from him. Lmao
RVAALLDAY
The only ppl you’re going to find to be a manager at that wage are ppl that can’t find work anywhere else, fuckin moron
RVAALLDAY
I’m literally a like cook now making $1 more than I was when I was a manager there it’s fucking stupid
Rhewin
My wife’s dog grooming salon keeps poaching groomers from a local place that pays “supervisors” $9.75/hr.
AnonymousFats
Dunno about the whiteout, but the "now hiring children" signs are showing up on McDonalds everywhere.
ath1337e
A dumb franchise owner too. He should have printed a new sign so that potential applicants don't know how much of an ass he is.
EGifWrecker
Initially that is.. will take only few hrs in to find out what an asshole he is..
Devotionthepirate
The signs probably come from corporate
zoeelane201
And costs money to get a new one
PubstarHero
Considering it says Careers.mcondalds.com that is def a corporate poster.
Rhewin
You can apply to franchise stores there iirc.
PubstarHero
Yes but the fact it has a corporate address and not a franchise one means it was probably supplied by cirporate.

most franchise owners are shitty. cant create their own business so they pay franchise fees and siphon money out of their community
armagetz
How many of them have you personally met?
TreasonousCheeto
Do you know most franchise owners? I only know a few and this doesn’t describe them at all.
armagetz
A followup question: is he saying his social circles are filled with shitty people?
freckledkink
I've known some pretty awesome franchise owners. They paid well and knew everything about the store, inside and out. Not all are shitty, but
freckledkink
The ones who are don't tend to keep the business long. A lot of roll over and employees who don't care shows and customers stop going.
chillstepx
Didn't they try to revive the 'company store' concept a few years back by having wages go to an internal account you paid to access?

Paid with prepaid debit cards with fees are a thing that had a lot of outrage a couple of years back

Well it's certainly similar to the original comment. And closer than anything I could find. Thanks.
AStegosaurus
It's probably a misunderstanding/lie. When I was a teenager and worked at BK, they put the money in an account for us. You could use a debit
AStegosaurus
card that had a high fee, or you could write yourself a check and cash it at your regular back for free. I imagine something similar is

being sensationalized because Imgur proves horseshoe theory is correct on a daily basis.

Considering you didn't find the lawsuit, apparently it's not. You found a story that only got half the story and didn't bother finding the

full terms. I've already said they discourage use of the card. Check your smug bullshit and actually read links before you post them.
